How I feel thus far in the semester...

Well this is kinda a toughy, mainly because I try not to pay too much attention to my feelings..Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I dont know, but I try not to be moved by feelings and circumstances, ya know what I mean. So really, this is going to take some detachment.
However, occasionally, I will admit that my feelings get the best of me. Thankfully, this is not one of those times; or else I would be feeling quite stressed.
This week, I had two exams and several other assignments due. This was not too much to handle, but I did feel a little pressure, and with pressure comes stress. I seem to feel pressure quite often...I think this is mainly because I expect a great amount from myself. Sometimes, I feel so much pressure that the fear of failure (failure of my own expectations that is, and occasionally to other's expectations) keeps me from doing something. I cant stand this. I really hate the fear of failure, and I cant believe that I let it hold me back so much.
So this next week....I have zero exams, but I do have several rather large assignments due. I plan on working hard on each of them, and hopefully recieve an excellent grade in return.
This is the time in the semester when half of me wants to slack off a little bit. I mean, the break is almost here, I could easily get semi good grades if I just slacked off and took it easy for the rest of the semester. Luckily(or maybe not), it's my other half that controls me. I have to get the grades that I expect from myself, and nothing less. I will continue working hard at whatever I do, and I will only rest until there is time for rest (which is rare).
